What plant is that?

Welcome to 2024! Our January Mystery Plant is a tiny denizen of bogs, fens and wetland margins. Its tiny basal leaves are as wide as long with pubescent petioles. The reddish leaves are covered with sticky glandular hairs that trap and digest insects. The regular flowers are arranged in a one-sided raceme and each flower has 5 white petals. This species is differentiated from its more common cousin by the shape of the leaf.
